Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Electro valves buzzing after switch off

Post by nigxl »

Have a bank of 3 EVs on my 2001 90bhp Hdi. They all seem to be buzzing once the car is shut down as if the pressure is reducing slowly. This lasts for about a minute before they shut up. Could this be a leaking diaphragm inside one of them or is this normal?
Car could do with a bit more power actually, suspecting one or more of the solenoids needs a look at.

They all do that sir. The electrovalves run the turbo, egr and air doser on those so inflicted.

Oddly, 2.2's don't.

Perhaps because there's so many e/v's it would flatten the battery? :roll:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Maybe they all have too many vacuum leaks...
